These two gorgeous soap opera stars are both extremely talented. Days of Our Lives (DOOL) alumni Arianne Zucker and Shawn Christian have been together for about three years now and make an amazing couple. Interestingly enough, life imitated art with these two, as their DOOL characters (Nicole Walker and Dr. Daniel Jonas) were also together on the show. While fans may think they know all about the two and their love affair, below are seven things you may not know about the relationship between DOOL’s Arianne Zucker and Shawn Christian:

7. Friends First

They say the best couples are friends first, which may be a nice indication of success for these two. Shawn Christian entered the land of Salem in 2008 as Jonas, which was around the same time Nicole Walker (a.k.a. Zucker) re-emerged onto the DOOL scene. When they first met Ari had recently reconciled with then-hubby, another former Days’ actor, Kyle Lower (ex-Brady Black). The two would work together for years before they finally began dating.

6. Making It Official

When Zucker called it quits with Lower in March of 2014, it opened up the chance for her and Christian to explore their relationship. The good news is Kyle and Ari are still friends and committed to co-parenting their daughter. She and Christian made it official soon after her divorce announcement and they’ve been happily together since.
